He was experiencing a lot of buffering, and I decided it was worth sacrificing a little bit of visual crispiness so that more viewers could enjoy the stream. Theres no reason to try to broadcast a 720p game at 1080p. Finally, select the region youd like to test Im going to only check the United States. Games with less motion and onscreen craziness dont need high frame rate values to look quite as good. Maybe it was moved, deleted, or you accidentally mistyped the URL. After about 20 minutes of streaming with OpenCL, I crash with this error. The bitrate I have set is 2,400 Kbps so Im going to downscale my resolution to 720p, or 1280720, which I can just type in or use the drop down to select. I’m gonna go through some more tests but Yeah the Game Cap requires me to select the application every time or else it won’t stream what I have running. All Rights Reserved. I leave mine at the default values.

The first option I want to talk about here is the Desktop Audio Device. If the game you are playing isnt experiencing connection issues, you can try allocating more of your upload bandwidth to live streaming, or vice-versa. dodgepong Administrator Admin What game? For an FPS I would say 720p60, and for a RTS/MOBA 1080p30, personally. I have found the golden SETTING! Obviously though this is with OpenCL and I need further testing to see if it’s stable. Something you should never do is set your output bitrate to a value that exceeds your available upload bandwidth. Otherwise, your gaming experience will be a complete lag festival, which is never a fun-for-the-whole-family affair (it typically involves a fair amount of profanity).

For most cases this means that OBS Studio will broadcast the sounds that play through your default audio device. VBR, on the other hand, would drop your bitrate during low-motion scenes, and then boost it back up during high-motion scenes; this sudden change can cause problems for your viewers devices, so just dont use VBR. We can also choose to enable push-to-mute, which is useful if you want to avoid loud noises like coughs on stream, or push-to-talk which is great if you have a lot of background noise and want there to be silence from your microphone unless youre talking. Set Your Mode to CBR Some live streaming applications give you the option to set your bitrate mode to Constant Bitrate (CBR) or Variable Bitrate (VBR). With that said, as a new streamer you will never want to put this number higher than 3,500 Kbps. This will basically tell OBS Studio what sounds from your computer to pick up. Which would you guys prefer watching? vaesauce, Jul 2, 2013 #1 . This is also where you can set up the push-to-talk or mute buttons we saw earlier.
